2, 6-DISUBSTITUTED QUINAZOLINES , QUINOXALINES , QUINOLINES AND ISOQUINOLINES AS 
INHIBITORS OF RAF KINASE FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER 

FIELD OF THE INVENTION 

The present invention relates to new substituted quinazoline, quinoxaline, 
quinoline and isoquinoline compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts^ esters or 
prodrugs thereof, compositions of the new compoiands together with pharmaceutically 
acceptable carriers, and uses of the new compounds, either alone or in combination with 
at least one additional therapeutic agent, in the prophylaxis or treatment of cancer. 

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 

The Raf serine/threonine kinases are essential components of the Ras/Mitogen- 
Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling module that controls a complex 
transcriptional program in response to extemal cellular stimuli. Raf genes code for highlj?^ 
conserved serine-threonine-specific protein kinases which are known to bind to the ras 
oncogene. They are part of a signal transduction pathway believed to consist of receptor 
tyrosine kinases, p21 ras, Raf protein kinases, Mekl (ERK activator or MAPKK) kinases 
and ERK (MAPK) kinases, which ultimately phosphorylate transcription factors. In this 
pathway Raf kinases are activated by Ras and phosphorylate and activate two isoforms of 
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase (called Mekl and Mek2), that are dual 
specificity threonine/tyrosine kinases. Both Mek isoforms activate Mitogen Activated 
Kinases 1 and 2 (MAPK, also called Extracellular Ligand Regulated Kinase 1 and 2 or 
Erkl and Erk2). The MAPKs phosphorylate many substrates including transcription 
factors and in so doing set up their transcriptional program. Raf kinase participation in 
the Ras/MAPK pathway influences and regulates many cellular functions such as 
proliferation, differentiation, survival, oncogenic transformation and apoptosis. 

Both the essential role and the position of Raf in many signaling pathways have 
been demonstrated from studies using deregirlated and dominant inhibitory Raf mutants 
in mammalian cells as well as from studies employing biochemical and genetic 
techniques model organisms. In many cases, the activation of Raf by receptors that 



wo 2005/037285 



PCT/US2004/034185 



Stimulate cellular tyrosine phosphorylation is dependent on the activity of Ras, indicating 
that Ras ftmctions upstream of Raf. Upon activation, Raf-1 then phosphorylates and 
activates Mekl, resulting in the propagation of the signal to downstream effectors, such 
as MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) (Crews et al. (1993) Cell 74:215). The Raf 

5 serine/threonine kinases are considered to he the primary Ras effectors uivolved in the 
proliferation of animal cells (Avruch et al. (1994) Trends Biochem. Set 19:279). 

Raf kinase has three distinct isoforms, Raf-1 (c-Raf), A-Raf, and B-Raf, 
distinguished by their ability to interact with Ras, to activate MAPK kinase pathway, 
tissue distribution and sub-cellular localization (Marias et al., Biochem. J. 351: 289-305, 

10 2000; Weber et. al. Oncogene 19:169-176, 2000; Pritchard et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 

15:6430-6442, 1995). 

Recent studies have shown that B-Raf mutation in the skin nevi is a critical step in 
the mitiation of melanocytic neoplasia (Pollock et. al., Nature Genetics 25: 1-2, 2002). 
Furthermore, most recent studies have emerged that activating mutation in the kinase 

15 domain of B-Raf occurs in -66% of melanomas, 12% of colon carcinoma and 14% of 
liver cancer (Davies et. al.. Nature 417:949-954, 2002) (Yuen et. al., Cancer Research 
62:6451-6455, 2002) (Brose et. al.. Cancer Research 62:6997-7000, 2002). 

Inhibitors of Raf/MEK/ERK pathway at the level of Raf kinases can potentially be 
effective as therapeutic agents against tumors with over-expressed or mutated receptor 

20 tyrosine kinases, activated intracellular tyrosine kinases, tumors with aberrantly 
expressed Grb2 (an adapter protein tliat allows stimulation of Ras by the Sos exchange 
factor) as well as tumors harboring activating mutations of Raf itself. In early clinical 
trails an inhibitor of Raf-1 kinase, that also inhibits B-Raf, has shown promise as a 
therapeutic agent in cancer therapy (Crump, Current Pharmaceutical Design 8: 2243- 

25 2248, 2002; Sebastien et. al.. Current Pharmaceutical Design 8: 2249-2253, 2002). 

Disruption of Raf expression in cell lines through the application of RNA 
antisense technology has been shown to suppress both Ras and Raf-mediated 
tumorigenicity (Kolch etal.. Nature 349:416-428, 1991; Monia etal.. Nature Medicine 
2(6):668-675, 1996). 

30 Several Raf kinase inhibitors have been described as exhibiting efficacy in 

inhibiting tumor cell proliferation in viti'o and/or in vivo assays (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 
6,391,636, 6,358,932, 6,037,136, 5,717,100, 6,458,813, 6,204,467, and 6,268,391). Other 
patents and patent applications suggest the use of Raf kinase inhibitors for treating 



wo 2005/037285 



PCT/US2004/034185 



leukemia (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 6,268,391, and 6,204,467, and published U.S. Patent 
Application Nos. 20020137774; 20020082192; 20010016194; and 20010006975), or for 
treating breast cancer (see, e,g,, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,358,932, 5,717,100, 6,458,813, 
6,268,391, and 6,204,467, and published U.S. Patent Application No. 20010014679).

In yet other aspects, the present invention provides compounds which are 
10 inhibitors of the elizyme raf kinase. Since the enzyme is a downstream effector of p2l^^^, 
the instant inhibitors are useful in pharmaceutical compositions for human or veterinary 
use where inhibition of the raf kinase pathway is indicated, e.g., in the treatment of 
tumors and/or cancerous cell growth mediated by raf kinase. In particular, the 
compounds are useful in the treatment of hxoman or animal, e.g., murine cancer, since the 
15 progression of these cancers is dependent upon the ras protein signal transduction cascade 
and therefore is susceptible to treatment by interruption of the cascade by inhibiting raf 
kinase activity. Accordingly, the compounds of the invention are useful in treating solid 
cancers, such as, for example, carcinomas (e.g., of the Imigs, pancreas, thyroid, bladder or 
colon, myeloid disorders (e.g., myeloid leukemia) or adenomas (e.g., villous colon 
20 adenoma).

those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly 
alkanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkanoic and alkanedioic acids, in which each alkyl or alkenyl 
moiety advantageously has not more than 6 carbon atoms. Examples of particular esters 

15 include formates, acetates, propionates, butyrates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates. 

The term "pharmaceutically acceptable prodmgs" as used herein refers to those 
prodrugs of the compounds of the present invention which are, within the scope of sound 
medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower 
animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate 

20 with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the 
zwitterionic fonns, where possible, of the compounds of the invention. The term 
"prodmg" refers to compoxmds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent 
compound of the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. A thorough 
discussion is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, 

25 Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible 
Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 
1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. 

The term "cancer" refers to cancer diseases that can be beneficially treated by the 
inhibition of Raf kinase, including, for example, solid cancers, such as carcinomas (e.g., 

30 of the lungs, pancreas, thyroid, bladder or colon), myeloid disorders (e.g., myeloid 
lexikemia) and adenomas (e.g., villous colon adenoma).

The compoimds of the invention comprise asymmetrically substituted carbon 
atoms. Such asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can result in the compounds of the 
invention comprising mixtures of stereoisomers at a particular asymmetrically substituted 
carbon atom or a single stereoisomer. As a result, racemic mixtures, mixtures of 
^ 5 diastereomers, as well as single diastereomers of the compounds of the invention are 
included in the present invention. The terms "S" and "R" configuration, as used herein, 
are as defined by the lUP AC 1 974 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR Section E, Fundamental 
Stereochemistry, Pure Appl Chem, 45:13-30 (1976). The terms a and p are employed 
for ring positions of cyclic compounds. The a-side of the reference plane is that side on 
10 which the preferred substituent lies at the lower numbered position. Those substituents 
lying on the opposite side of the reference plane are assigned [3 descriptor. It should be 
noted that this usage differs from that for cyclic stereoparents, in which "a" means 
"below the plane" and denotes absolute config\iration. The terms a and P configxaration, 
as used herein, are as defined by the Chemical Abstracts Index Guide-Appendix IV 
15 (1987) paragraph 203. 

The present invention also relates to the processes for preparing the compounds of 
the invention and to the synthetic intermediates useful in such processes, as described in 
detail below.

In this scheme 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde 1 is reacted in DMF with 
iodomethane and potassium carbonate to yield 5-methoxy-2-nitrobenzaldehyde 2. The 
5 methoxybenzaldehyde is heated with p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate (catalytic 
amount) in toluene to obtain the dioxane derivative 3, which is hydrogenated to give 2- 
(13-dioxolan-2yl)-4-methoxyphenylamine 4. Following conversion to the 
ethoxycarboxamide 5 and then to the formyl carboxamide 6, 6-methoxyquinazohn-2-ol 7 
is obtained by ring closure with ammonia. Reaction with phosphoms oxychloride then

Compoimds of the invention wherein Y ^ O or S may generally be prepared as 
shown in examples 1-92 below. Compounds containing Y = C may generally be 
prepared as described in WO 03/031458, Compounds having Y = N may generally be 
prepared by treating hydroxy-substituted quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, or quinazolinyl 
compounds with triflic anhydride followed by the appropriate aryl or heteroaryl amines 
under Pd catalyzed conditions (Old, D.W.; Wolfe, J.P.; Buchwald, S. L. X Am, Chem, 
Soc, 1998, 120, 9722-9723). 

Various other compounds of the invention can be made by treating an 
appropriately functionalized heteroaryl or aryl acid (-A2-COOH) with sodium azide or 
diphenylphosphoryl azide under Schmidt/Curtius rearrangement conditions to form the 
corresponding heteroarylisocyanate (-A2-N=C=0) intermediates. These isocyanates need 



-33- 



wo 2005/037285 



PCT/US2004/034185 



not be isolated and may be readily converted via known procedures to amines, amides, 
thioamides, carbamates, thiocarbamates, ureas, and thioixreas. 

The compounds of the invention are useful in vitro or in vivo in inhibiting the 
growth of cancer cells. The compounds may be used alone or in compositions together 
5 with a pharrnaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. Suitable phantnaceutically 
acceptable carriers or excipients include, for example, processing agents and drug 
delivery modifiers and enhancers, such as, for example, calcium phosphate, magnesium 
stearate, talc, monosaccharides, disaccharides, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methyl cellulose, 
sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, dextrose, hydroxypropyl-P-cyclodextrin, polyvinyl- 

10 pyrroUdinone, low melting waxes, ion exchange resins, and the like, as well as 
combinations of any two or more thereof. Other suitable pharrnaceutically acceptable 
excipients are described in "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences," Mack Pub. Co., New 
Jersey (1991), incorporated herein by reference. 

Effective amounts of the compounds of the invention generally include any 

1 5 amount sufficient to detectably inhibit Raf activity by any of the assays described herein, 
by other Raf kinase activity assays known to those having ordinary skill in the art or by 
detecting an inhibition or alleviation of symptoms of cancer. 

The amoimt of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials 
to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the 

20 particular mode of administration. It will be understood, however, that the specific dose 
level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity 
of the specific compoimd employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time 
of administration, route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the 
severity of the particular disease imdergoing therapy. The therapeutically effective 

25 amoxmt for a given situation can be readily determined by routine experimentation and is 
within the skill and judgment of the ordinary clinician. 

For pixrposes of the present invention, a therapeutically effective dose will 
generally be a total daily dose administered to a host in single or divided doses may be in 
amounts, for example, of firom 0.001 to lOOOmg/kg body weight daily and more 

30 preferred jfrom 1.0 to 30mg/kg body weight daily. Dosage unit compositions may 
contain such amounts of submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. 

The compotmds of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, 
sublingually, by aerosolization or inhalation spray, rectally, or topically in dosage unit 

-34- 



wo 2005/037285 



PCT/US2004/034185 



formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, 
adjuvants, and vehicles as desired. Topical administration may also involve the use of 
transdermal administration such as transdermal patches or ionophoresis devices. The 
term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, 
5 intramuscxilar, intrastemal injection, or infusion techniques. 

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous 
suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or 
wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a 
sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or 

10 solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3 -propanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles 
and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer^s solution, and isotonic sodium 
chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent 
or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including 
synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the 

1 5 preparation of inj ectables . 

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the 
dmg with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols, 
which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will 
therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug. 

20 Solid dosage forms for oral administration may include capsules, tablets, pills, 

powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound may be 
admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose lactose or starch- Such dosage 
forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert 
diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate. In the case of capsules, 

25 tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills 
can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings. 

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include phannaceutically 
acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents 
commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise 

30 adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, cyclodextrins, and 
sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. 

The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of 
liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or 

-35- 



wo 2005/037285 



PCT/US2004/034185 



other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid 
crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically 
acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The 
present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the 
5 present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids 
are the phospholipids and phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic. 
Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., 
Methods in Cell Biology^ Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.W., p. 33 etseq. 
(1976). 

10 While the compounds of the invention can be administered as the sole active 

pharmaceutical agent, they can also be used in combination with one or more other agents 
used in the treatment of cancer. Representative agents useful in combination with the 
compoxmds of the invention for the treatment of cancer include, for example, irinotecan, 
topotecan, gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin carboplatin, cisplatin, taxanes, 

15 tezacitabine, cyclophosphamide, vinca alkaloids, imatinib (Gleevec), anthracyclines, 
rituximab, trastuzumab, dacarbazine, aldesleukin, capecitabine, and Iressa (gefitinib), as 
well as other cancer chemotherapeutic agents. 

The above compounds to be employed in combination with the compounds of the 
invention will be used in therapeutic amomits as indicated in the Physicians* Desk 

20 Reference (PDR) 47th Edition (1993), which is incorporated herein by reference, or such 
therapeutically useful amounts as would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art. 

The compounds of the invention and the other anticancer agents can be 
administered at the recommended maximum clinical dosage or at lower doses. Dosage 
levels of the active compounds in the compositions of the invention may be varied so as 

25 to obtain a desired therapeutic response depending on the route of administration, severity 
of the disease and the response of the patient. The combination can be administered as 
separate compositions or as a single dosage form containing both agents. When 
administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate 
compositions, which are given at the same time or different times, or the therapeutic 

30 agents, can be given as a single composition. 

Antiestrogens, such as tamoxifen, inhibit breast cancer growth through induction 
of cell cycle arrest, that requires the action of the cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip. Recently, it 
has been shown that activation of the Ras-Raf-MAP Kinase pathway alters the 

-36- 



wo 2005/037285 



PCT/US2004/034185 



phosphorylation status of p27Kip such that its inhibitory activity in arresting the cell 
cycle is attenuated, thereby contributing to aatiestrogen resistance (Donovan et al, J. Biol. 
Chem. 27^:40888, 2001). As reported by Donovan et al., inhibition of MAPK signaling 
through treatment with MEK inhibitor changed the phosphorylation status of p27 in 
hormone refactory breast cancer cell lines and in so doing restored hormone sensitivity. 
Accordingly, in one aspect, the compoxmds of formulas (I) - (V) may be used in the 
treatment of hormone dependent cancers, such as breast and prostate cancers, to reverse 
hormone resistance commonly seen in these cancers with conventional anticancer agents. 

In hematological cancers, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), 
chromosomal translocation is responsible for the constitutively activated BCR-ABl 
tyrosine kinase. The afflicted patients are responsive to Gleevec, a small molecule 
tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as a result of inhibition of Abl kinase activity. However, many 
patients with advanced stage disease respond to Gleevec initially^ but then relapse later 
due to resistance-conferring mutations in the Abl kinase domain. In viti^o studies have 
demonstrated that BCR-Avl employs the Raf kinase pathway to elicit its effects. In 
addition, inhibiting more than one kinase in the same pathway provides additional 
protection against resistance-conferring mutations. Accordingly, in another aspect of the 
invention, the compoimds of formulas (I)-(VIII) are used in combination with at least one 
additional agent, such as Gleevec, in the treatment of hematological cancers, such as 
chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), to reverse or prevent resistance to the at least one 
additional agent. 

The present invention will be imderstood more readily by reference to the 
following examples, which are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to be 
limiting of the present invention. 

Representative side chains for use in the compounds of the following examples 
may generally be prepared in accordance with the following procedures:

ASSAY 2: Biotinvlated Raf Screen 

15 In Vitro Raf Screen 

The activity of various isoforms of Raf serine/threonine kinases can be measured 
by providing ATP, MEK substrate, and assaying the transfer of phosphate moiety to the 
MEK residue. Recombinant isoforms of Raf w^ere obtained by purification from sf9 
insect cells infected with a human Raf recombinant baculoviras expression vector. 

20 Recombinant kinase inactive MEK was expressed in E. coli and labeled with Biotin post 
purification. For each assay, test compounds were serially diluted in DMSO then mixed 
with Raf (0.50 nM) and kinase inactive biotin-MEK (50 nM) in reaction buffer plus ATP 
(1 |LiM). Reactions were subsequently incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and 
stopped by the addition of 0.5 M EDTA. Stopped reaction mixture was transferred to a 

25 neutradavin-coated plate (Pierce) and incubated for 1 hour. Phosphorylated product was 
measured with the DELFIA time-resolved fluorescence system (Wallac), using a rabbit 
anti-p-MEK (Cell Signaling) as tlae primary antibody and europium labeled atiti-rabbit as 
the secondary antibody. Time resolved fluorescence was read on a Wallac 1232 DELFIA
